The new automatic track warning system (ATWS) co-developed by SYSTRA and Z\u00f6llner provides a response to the increasing safety requirements for work on railway lines[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Existing solution with look-outs have their limitations. They require significant human resources, sometimes even greater than those necessary for the work, and are difficult to mobilise at any time of the day. They are also costly for the operator, as maintenance and regeneration work is often carried out at night due to the density and pace of daytime traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Operational efficiency and simplicity of deployment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new automatic audio and audible and visual warning system co-developed by SYSTRA and Z\u00f6llner is a simpler and a more efficient solution than existing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system does neither require any modification to existing stations and signalling systems, nor does it require cabling or the installation of detection equipment in the field prior to operations. It can be deployed on any line equipped with ERTMS Level 2 worldwide. Several warning modes are possible depending on the type of intervention and the requirements of the maintenance sites: trafficked track, contiguous track. This system requires only one operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
